This air is ace Dawn must be entering My family windows

Swimming without aids Tough grind and grit bring changes Merit acknowledges

As believed beliefs move mountains Is written we read even God almighty On the seventh day rested

Six feet deep ends it- Leveller of stride or strife of life Journey began in the womb

Why limit affection to ache the heart Love provokes peeling desire's defences mind to flesh Yet naive will darlinging be without head

Affectionate is hearty ask; mine, God I pray please protected Circled from man must mould evil credited apportionment of the devil Ostrich we turn, questioned; the rejected, whose portion then?

Morning birth-bathed in sunshine bright and beautiful Yet yesterday mourned shadow gloomed forboding preggnancy The tell-tale faithfulness of tomorrow will bring tomorrow

Know this space we inhabit is only but a temporary place As fresh leaves and peels soon turn dry, withering to end So us one day would loose our glow till we are no more done Please, for this little time we have, care, even if little Nothing in life is worth the squabble, quarrel, or enmity No matter who you are today, naked we came same we go I care for you, no matter what branch, fruit, leaves you are So if some day you feel down, needing a lift, please call me And if perchance you call and I can't answer, know I need you.

Why won't this damned tears let me be Deep in my soul fleshes my memories of him, Carried in thoughts my pen as chariots interpretes, Sadly in mould of blurs and cracked cast tombstone These are words of my hand, not my heart; not my will, For sadness has wretched my heart, shattered, lost, I am.

In the book,, the readers would learn that the Great Commission is the completion of His mission on earth; the power to reverse back to life of the spiritually dead by all those who chose to follow Him. Much more, the book affirms that Disciples who answer to His call do not do so merely to be Christian (His followers) but to be made disciples, who Act 1:8 says “will receive power when the Holy Spirit come on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and the end of the earth;” people bestowed with the powers to bring back all those who “just exist but .. are without life.” Who “do not experience the love of their creator; the joy of living and the peace of mind which is their right...” The “many peo
